Myanmar Climate Change Master Plan (2018-2030)Introduction: how to use the master planThis part contains the master plan (MP) for the MCCS (2018–2030), to be implementedby partners in each of Myanmar's six key sectoral areas:1. Agriculture, fisheries and livestock2. Environment and natural resources3. Energy, transport and industry4. Cities, towns and human settlements5. Climate hazards and health6. Education, science and technologyEach sectoral area has a designated focal agency that will monitor progress againstthe master plan.The master plan was formulated through over a year-long process of stakeholderconsultations — from April 2015 to August 2016 — with representatives from severalsectors, brought together under the Technical Working Group (TWG) of the MyanmarClimate Change Alliance Programme (MCCA). The result of these intense exchanges isa series of activities for each area of action, which we set out in this part. Although nota comprehensive list of all the actions possible in these broad sectors, they representkey entry points, with tangible and measurable outputs, that will contribute toachieving the MCCS’s overall goal: ‘By 2030, Myanmar has achieved climate-resilienceand pursued a low-carbon growth pathway to support inclusive and sustainabledevelopment’ in line with the national vision of the MCCS, which is to ‘transformMyanmar into a climate-resilient and carbon-efficient nation that is capable ofharnessing the benefits of low-carbon, resilient development for present and futuregenerations in a sustainable and inclusive manner’.Master Plan’s designThe master plan’s design includes: an overall outcome and expected results for thesector; strategic indicators; objectives for areas of action; activities for theseobjectives; outputs for the activities; indicators for each action; and timeframes andresponsibilities. In this section, we provide an overview of each of these components.Page10

Myanmar Climate Change Master Plan (2018-2030)1. Sectoral outcomes: These are concise descriptions of what the sector will resembleafter the successful implementation of the master plan. The six sectoral outcomes are:(a) Climate-resilient productivity and climate-smart responses in theagriculture, fisheries and livestock sectors to support food security andlivelihood strategies while also promoting resource-efficient and lowcarbon practices(b) Natural resource management that enhances the resilience of biodiversityand ecosystem services that support social and economic developmentand deliver carbon sequestration(c) Climate-resilient and low-carbon energy, transport and industrial systemsthat support inclusive and sustainable development and economic growth(d) All township and city dwellers, including the most vulnerable, are safe fromincreased risks of rapid- and slow-onset natural disasters and live insustainable, inclusive, low-carbon, climate-resilient towns(e) Communities and economic sectors are able to respond to and recoverfrom climate-induced disasters, risks and health impacts and build ahealthy society, and(f) Strengthened education, awareness and technological systems that foster aclimate-responsive society and human capital to design and implementclimate-resilient and low-carbon development solutions for inclusive andsustainable developmentAchieving all these sectoral outcomes will help Myanmar achieve the MCCS's mainobjectives and reach its overall goal of achieving climate-resilience and pursued alow-carbon growth pathway to support inclusive and sustainable development by2030.2. Sectoral expected results: These are the key minimal and tangible achievementseach sector must attain to achieve the sectoral outcome. They are the building blocksthat drive sectoral action.Page11

Myanmar Climate Change Master Plan (2018-2030)3. Strategic indicators: An indication of the type of processes, laws, policies andactivities that must be set up in order to monitor change. Indicators do not includenumeric baselines for now, although the strategy's implementation mechanism maydecide to improve them.4. Objectives for areas of action: These are six areas for action that activities thatstakeholders have agreed to focus on during the consultations. They are the objectiveseach sector aims to attain and activities under each master plan fall under one of thesix areas of action (policy, institutions, finance, capacity and technology, awareness,partnerships).For example, Objective for action area 1: "To integrate climate change in environmentand natural resource management policies, plans, research and development, andextension services at national, sectoral and local levels.”5. Activities for these objectives: These are all the activities, as agreed by stakeholdersduring the consultations, that will contribute to achieving the objectives under eacharea of action. They range from ongoing projects and sectoral activities that need tobe continued and strengthened, to new projects that need to be initiated.6. Outputs for the activities: Each activity has one or more output that can be achievedwithin the duration of the strategy. Delivering these outputs will contribute toachieving the expected sectoral results.7. Indicators: These are both quantitative and qualitative, and show stakeholderswhich signs to observe to monitor progress. Target values and baselines for theseindicators are not presented at this stage; but rather provide an indication of how tomonitor progress that the implementation mechanism can improve as required.8. Timeframe: This is divided in three segments: activities taking place within 3, 8 and13 years, corresponding to the short, medium and long term. Sectors need to reporton or record their activities within these segments. So, for example, activities that canbe initiated and achieved in two years fall within the short-term segment while thosethat will achieve outputs in six years fall under the medium-term. Activities that canbe completed only in the long-term fall under the 13-year segment. Some activities -Page12

Myanmar Climate Change Master Plan (2018-2030)such as awareness - will fall under all three segments, as we expect that, althoughtangible outputs can appear in the short term, they will require continuation overtime.9. Responsibility: This sets out roles and responsibilities for leading, driving, reportingon and participating in the actions and activities. An ambitious strategy like the MCCScannot be achieved without the participation of many different actors.10. Actors and reporting: Each sector has an overall focal agency that reports to thesecretariat on overall progress towards each sectoral outcome. For ease of monitoringand reporting, the MCCS reports on progress towards sectoral expected results only.There is a lead for each action and activity. The focal agencies are responsible forregularly reporting progress towards sectoral outcomes by consulting the differentleads.Page13
